As we near the end of our sixth week in lockdown we are also beginning a new month and new supermarket safety measures and rules.

Although Boris Johnson confirmed last night we had hit the peak of the coronavirus crisis, the country-wide lockdown is still very much in place which means shoppers still need to adhere to the guidelines.
